It's time for new leadership for District 15 that represents your interests, not their own. Lifelong Montgomery County residents, we have been going door-to-door for over a month now.

Montgomery County receives back less than 20 cents for every dollar we send to the state.  With 17% of the state's school children, we receive only 9% of the state's school construction dollars.  Even so, the incumbent state legislators from District 15 voted to transfer state teacher pension costs to our county!

Look what your current District 15 legislators did to your pocketbook:

*They increased your gas tax costs by 20 cents per gallon!

*They passed a state income tax increase...40% of which will be paid by MoCo residents.

*They opposed our "Ficker Amendment," which passed countywide anyway & limits property tax increases.  It passed in District 15 by over 5,000 votes.

They supported the "Rain Tax,"...a tax on your roof, driveway and patio!

And if that wasn't enough...

They voted for a 20% increase in the state sales tax, which like the gas tax, clobbers the poor and middle class.
